Prologue
Young Darcy Cross always loved the wintertime. She lived in the outskirts of Chicago with her parents Aaron and Tara Cross, she's five years old. It was her favorite season because it was Christmas, to see family, friends, eating cookies, drinking hot chocolate and opening present on Christmas Day. However, there was another reason she love wintertime, Jack Frost. Her mother has told her stories about Jack Frost and how he roams in winter controlling the weather especially snow all around the world. Though told her young Darcy that he was always alone and no children have ever believed Jack Frost was real. Young Darcy started to believe in Jack Frost because she felt alone all the time, she had no friends at school and she always kept to herself. Darcy also believed in mythical creatures such as dragons, witches, wizards, magic, warlocks and anything that didn't exist in the reality. Her mother always believes in anything supernatural and so did her father. They both are believers and so is their daughter young Darcy.
"Mom, I'm going to go play out in the snow!" She yelled at her mom as Darcy was putting on her snow boots and jacket.
"Okay honey, don't be out there too long dinner will be ready in ten minutes!"
"Got it mom!"
"And say hi to Jack Frost for me!"
"I will!" With that Darcy opened the door and started running in the snow. She saw snowflakes fall from the sky; she smiled and started catching snowflakes with her tongue. She laughed and played in the snow, made snow angels and built a snowman until it was all ruined.
"Hey it's the freak!" She spun around and saw three boys and a girl about her age standing there as they had snowballs in their hands. Darcy gulped and started to back away slowly for them not to notice. "What's the freak doing outside of her cage!?"
"Don't call me a freak!"
"Still believe in creatures from another dimension!? " The group started laughing at young Darcy; she felt anger and full of rage. She's tired of being picked on and being bullied by this group. She clenched her hands into fists and gritted her teeth. She rolled up the snow making a snowball and glared at the leader of the group. He kept laughing along with his other friends laughing as well. Without thinking it through, Darcy threw the snowball at the leader of the group and hit his face. She kept glaring at him as the boy wiped the snow off his face. He glared at Darcy and crushed his snowball in his hands and the rest of everyone else glared at Darcy as well. "You're going to pay for that you stupid witch!"
"If you want me, come and calm me!" Darcy bolted and head towards the forest.
"After her!" The group ran after her and headed towards the forest as well. Darcy was a fast runner for her age and the kids thought she used some kind of spell to enhance her speed, but she did no such thing. She was born with it, but they don't believe her because of all the stuff she believes in. However, she never stopped even though she's different, but that didn't change her. She kept running deep and deep within the forest. Wolves were howling, the cold breeze hit her skin along with the snowflakes, her breathing started to get heavy and she was dodging tree stumps, branches and various things that are in her path. She glances back and she doesn't see the group behind her. She comes out of the forest and found herself near a lake. She started running towards the lake and stopped at the edge of the lake. She sat the edge of the lake until she got her breath again. She was happy that she lost the group, she looked at the iced up lake and heard the winter birds singing their songs. Everything was peaceful and quiet and wind sang their song of silence until she heard something or someone crashed into the trees and fell to the ground. Darcy immediately got up and stood in self defense stance. She glared at the figure that had its face in the snow and was getting up. It got up from the snow ground and dust off its pants and his blue sweater. She glared at him closely and saw it was a boy. A boy with snow white hair, icy blue eyes and pale skin, he looked no older then sixteen at least. Darcy continued to glare at the boy and gritted her teeth. She was slowly going to approach him until she was knocked on her feet, she looked up and her eyes went wide then she saw the boy of the group. He glared down at her and grabbed the collar of her jacket.
"You thought you could out run us witch!?" She struggled to get free from his grasp, but couldn't and glared at him.
"Let me go you big bully!" He laughed at me and so did his friends enjoying what the boy is doing to me. He gripped the collar of my coat tightly and continued to glare at me.
"You don't deserve to live you stupid wench!" He then threw Darcy onto the ice covered lake. She slid in the middle of the lake where the ice is hallowed, Darcy tries to get up until she heard the ice start to crack underneath her. She looked up and saw the group laughing at her and pointing at her. "Good luck trying to get out you witch!" They laughed and started to run away so they wouldn't get in trouble. I growled and hit the iced lake which made it worse. The ice started to crack even more and the ice beneath me was getting worse. Darcy slowly got up and slowly started walking towards the edge of the lake, but she knew she wasn't going to make it.
"Hey don't move!" She froze in her slow steps towards the edge of the lake and slowly turned around to see the guy that fell from the sky. His face was full of concern and worry and Darcy might fall into the freezing waters of winter. "If you move anymore, the ice will break, here let me help you." Darcy hesitated at first and she didn't know who this boy is. "I won't hurt you I just want to help."
"How do you I know you won't make fun of me for what I believe in!?"
"I'm not like those kids; I would never want to hurt you or anyone else."
"Who are you?"
"I'm Jack Frost." Darcy eyes went wide at the sight that she sees Jack Frost the one who controls the weather especially snow. She smiled at him that she could see Jack Frost. "Wait, you can see me?" She nodded. "You can hear me?" She nodded and he smiled at Darcy, someone believes in him. They both smiled at each other until the ice from under her started to break. Jack's eyes went wide as he saw the ice break; he took action and lunged for her before she fell in. She screamed as they both landed on the edge of the lake they both saw the ice crumble into a million pieces. They both sighed out in relief and smiled at each other.
"Thank you for saving me Jack."
"No problem…what's your name?"
"Darcy, Darcy Cross."
"Well, you already know who I am." They both laughed as they enjoyed each other company until Darcy heard her mother's voice.
"Darcy! Darcy, where are you!?" They both turned around and saw flashlights seeping through the forest. She looked up at the sky and saw the daylight was no more. Darcy quickly got up and started running towards the flashing lights. She stopped in her tracks and spun around and Jack was standing right in front of her.
"When will I see you again?" He smiled down at her, kneeled down and put a hand on her shoulder.
"Soon, but I got to go. One day we'll see each other again I promise."
"I won't stop believing in you no matter what." Darcy gave him a hug and he returned the gesture. He pulled away and kissed Darcy on the forehead. He then got up, started running and he started to fly away. Darcy kept smiling as he flew away, she waved goodbye and started running towards her parent's voice. Since then, Darcy Cross never forgot about her encounter with Jack Frost.
